Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative person who is【C1】______only among those with whom he is acquainted. When a stranger is at present, he often seems nervous, even【C2】______You have to take a commuter train any morning or evening to【C3】______the truth of this.
Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing in a corner; hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite【C4】______.
【C5】______, there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, once broken, makes the offender immediately the object of【C6】______.
It has been known as a fact that a British has a【C7】______for the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it【C8】______.
Some people argue that it is because the British weather seldom【C9】______forecast and hence becomes a source of interest and【C10】______to everyone.
This may be so. 【C11】______a British cannot have much【C12】______in the weathermen, who, after promising fine, sunny weather for the following day, are often proved wrong【C13】______a cloud over the Atlantic brings rainy weather to all districts! The man in the street seems to be as accurate — or as inaccurate — as the weathermen in his【C14】______.
Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references【C15】______weather that the British 【C16】______to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are 【C17】______by comments on the weather. "Nice day, isn’t it?" "Beautiful!" may well be heard instead of "Good morning, how are you?" Although the foreigner may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is【C18】______pointing out that it could be used to his advantage. If he wants to start a conversation with a British but is at a loss to know【C19】______to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a safe subject which will【C20】______an answer from even the most reserved of the British.
【C10】
选项
A、dedication
B、suspicion
C、contemplation
D、speculation
答案
D
解析
语义衔接题。既然天气不遵循预报,那么天气就成了大家兴趣和猜测的源泉,另外还要注意所填词须和前面的interest搭配。[D]speculation意为“推测”,强调在不知道事实的情况下的推测,符合文意。[A]dedication“贡献”,与语义不符;[B]suspicion“怀疑,猜疑”常用于表示不信任;[C]contemplation“沉思”,注意这句话是解释英国人喜欢谈论天气的原因,因此这里不能选择“沉思”。
